I interpret this error to mean that amanda does not have rights to use dcop. I, as user 1000 do, that command works without any reported error for me. So, how do I add the backup group (or the user amanda) to the list of users who can access dcop and send kmail a msg? Thanks.

I just run rsync and then sleep 10800. If things are real busy before a release I sleep 1800 instead. Our servers all have a line for perpetual jobs in /etc/inittab so we don't worry about the job dying and not respawning: yp:12345:respawn:/root/perpetual My bash script looks like this. You may prefer something a bit different. Check with Slávek whether he prefers secondaries to pull from tde-mirror.yosemite.net or whether he has an alias in his DNS that he would prefer you to use.

Missing files are handled by a redirector and corrupted files are handled by signatures. Then you'd need to configure your server to provide the files via at least http and maybe also rsync. When ready tell Slávek and he'll add you to the mirror list. I also monitor my mirror with Nagios and a cronjob sends me a simple daily status report with output from df and some checks on the secondary mirrors. --Mike

Migration of services - 4. wiki
by Slávek Banko 20 Dec '20

20 Dec '20

Hi all, the fifth service on the migration list is wiki. -- Migration status -- A new wiki has been created, data from the existing one has been migrated. User accounts have not been migrated, so users must create new ones. -- What needs to be done -- A new TDE skin remains to be created. Some wiki pages deserve to be updated - for example, Project RoadMap, Nightly Builds,... I have an idea that pages with information about individual applications could be created in the wiki, so that an overview of these pages can replace the list of applications, which is statically on the main web. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does everything work fine with the new mailing lists? Do you have any other ideas and suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek

kmail vs amanda problem
by Gene Heskett 20 Dec '20

Greetings all; From time to time, kmail does some expiry housekeeping duringthe nightly amanda run, and the disappearing files make amanda spam the logs as follows: STRANGE DUMP DETAILS: /-- coyote /home/gene/Mail lev 0 STRANGE sendbackup: info BACKUP=APPLICATION sendbackup: info APPLICATION=amgtar sendbackup: info RECOVER_CMD=/bin/gzip -dc |/usr/local/libexec/amanda/application/amgtar restore [./file-to-restore]+ sendbackup: info COMPRESS_SUFFIX=.gz sendbackup: info end ? /bin/tar: ./amanda-stf/cur/1608262193.22812.fKbeO: File removed before we read it ? /bin/tar: ./amanda-stf/cur/1608264371.22812.1lf78: File removed before we read it ? /bin/tar: ./amanda-stf/cur/1608264614.22812.zFEou: File removed before we read it | Total bytes written: 6440765440 (6.0GiB, 17MiB/s) sendbackup: size 6289810 sendbackup: native-CRC 9c31bc0e:6440765440 sendbackup: client-CRC 812cf14e:3061318853 sendbackup: end \-------- Is there a dbus command my amanda script can send to tell amanda to hold off expiry till amanda is done?

Right click on them and see if you want change the icon to a bigger size. I sometimes use custom icons in a local dir /foo/IconSets etc. You can download a large icon for each and direct the .desktop to those icons. I hope I explained it well enough. Kate

Pixelated Icons - Trinity/PCLinuxOS
by Edward 19 Dec '20

19 Dec '20

Hi. I added Firefox and Thunderbird to the Quicklauncher under Trinity/PCLinuxOS. Once the icons are moused-over, the icons that appear in the bubbles above them, are pixelated. The other icons in the launcher (Synaptic, Konsole, Home, Konqueror and Show Desktop) appear fine. When I added the same to my Trinity Debian and Ubuntu desktops, the same icons appeared fine. Could there be something different about the Firefox and Thunderbird icons with PCLinuxOS? In the TDE Menu editor, the icons displayed fine Thanks in advance. Ed

Startup Applications - Trinity/PCLinuxOS
by Edward 16 Dec '20

16 Dec '20

Is there a specific menu selection in Trinity to review or select any startup applications? I'm specifically trying to get hp-systray (HP Device Manager system tray icon) to load in at each login under PCLinuxOS and I'm not seeing any menu selections specific to startup applications. nor anything under either Trinity Control Center or PCLinuxOS Control Center. The Preferences in the HP Device Manager show it is set to 'always show' and it will display in the PCLOS panel once the Device Manager is manually launched, but at the next login, it doesn't load. In my Trinity Debian and Ubuntu Trinity installs, it loads in at each login. Thanks in advance.

Migration of services - 9. patchwork
by Slávek Banko 14 Dec '20

14 Dec '20

Hi all, the ninth on the list of services to migrate - patchwork - is more of a small trip into history. -- Migration status -- Is there any of you who remembers patchwork? Has anyone ever used it? The purpose of this service was to pick patches sent to the mailing list and allow them to be revised: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patchwork_(software) The service was on an old primary server, so it might appear to be the subject of migration. However, this service was probably never used and its purpose was completely replaced by TGW. Therefore, there is no reason to devote any effort to this service. Just a quiet memory. -- What needs to be done -- You may have noticed that I have been talking about this service for the past. The reason is that the service is currently broken anyway - it returns code 500 - see https://patchwork.trinitydesktop.org/ So there is no need to do anything to migrate this service. At most, there can be a deleted DNS record. -- More ideas and suggestions? Does anyone have any objections or other suggestions? Cheers -- Slávek
